The US Open isn’t just for tennis fans—it’s the ultimate summer playground for style lovers. It’s a chance to dress up, sip Honey Deuces, indulge in COQODAQ's caviar + chicken nugget boxes, and soak in the energy while looking effortlessly chic. If you're lucky to have a courtside ticket and you want a look that’s modern, elevated, and just a little edgy (like Miss ultimate tennis WAG Morgan Riddle), here are some tips and ideas for how to serve that look. Minimal, tonal, sleek, and perfectly balanced between polished and relaxed. Here’s how to nail it for the US Open.
Key Rules
Neutral Palette: Stick to whites, creams, soft pastels, muted earth tones, or monochrome looks. Clean colors keep things chic and camera-ready.
Streamlined Silhouettes: Think structured dresses, sleek skirts, tailored shorts, or modern jumpsuits. Oversized blazers or vests add that signature Riddle edge.
Texture Mix: Linen with silk, cotton with subtle leather or metallic accents. Simple textures with unexpected details make a look feel elevated.
Minimal but Impactful Accessories: A slim gold necklace, angular sunglasses, or a clean leather bag goes a long way. Less is more.

Bags: Crossbody, mini tote, or structured leather. Small enough to fit under the seat, but roomy enough to carry the free swag you'll receive walking around the grounds.
Scarves / Bandanas: Silk scarves add texture or can double as a chic head accessory.
Beauty & Hair Tips
Hair: Low sleek ponytail, soft effortless waves, or chic messy bun. Easy, polished, and camera-ready.
